Continuing Education Webinar Series
|
To be certified and maintain certification every year as a Virginia Master Naturalist, volunteers are required to complete 8 hours of continuing education. To assist volunteers needing to meet this requirement, the state program offers continuing education through our annual statewide conference and an online webinar series. To attend a webinar, please click on the "Join Webinar" button below 5 to 10 minutes before the webinar begins. You can also access previous webinars by streaming a recording online, following the links provided at the bottom of the page. Upcoming continuing education opportunities will continue to be posted here and on the statewide Calendar of Events.
